All this fake outrage is much about nothing. There is no history of white people being labelled the N word. It has no derogatory impact. As Clarence Thomas would say, "Get Over It." Wait, Kaminsky is "Over it.".
Fair enough. But the kid isn't ghetto. He's a kid. Nothing more or less.
He used a dumb expletive around a hot Mic and got caught.
I use the word too...and I'm far from ghetto. You just have to be more sagacious if you're gonna say it. Definitely not in that setting.
I live here. I know people who know the twins. Their high school is right up the road.
The kids are probably able to play both roles - around certain people they can carry themselves well... around others they can speak the ghetto lingo. When the heat is on, what is true will in most cases show itself.
If the white player would have Said the N word to the Black player it would be a nacional front page news and the liberals calling for the head of the Coach for not suspendíng the player or kicking him out the team......a boycott of the school.
Black player does it , its all cool.....its a Black culture thing......lol
Yes, exactly right.
His choice of that word is a commentary on how young black people talk and nothing more.
Yes, if the roles had been reversed and Kaminsky had said it about Harrison, this would be a huge story. Is that fair? No. Fair is a place where they judge livestock. Life isn't fair. Get over it.

Kentucky players only playing for this college for a year or max two before they go to the pros. They are not college basketball players.
If this Kentucky black player was white and called black Wisconsin player a ****** he would be banned from basketball for life. Because the player was black and Wisconsin player he insulted white, it is no longer news. Is the word ****** banned or does it depend on the user?? Such a **** double standard.
****** is an crime only when a white person says it. ******, ******, ******.
He is black, therefore nothing will happen to him. In the US, it's okay to hate white people.
If he was white, he would have been put on a cross and crucified to coincide with the Easter holiday, thrown off the team, and banned from playing in the NCAA and the NBA.
100% true.
Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would have a million "followers" marching on Capitol hill if this was a white guy saying the word, they would call for the imprisonment of that guy's family, years in jail and his entire life ruined for the rest of time and they would march until they got what they wanted, they would never let it go.
Look, I am no conservative but I will tell you that either using the N word is again allowed for everyone (free speech and all that) or it is not allowed for anybody.
Take your pick but don't deny free speech to one class.
Its more important for some to feel like they got back at the Man. The goal is not to heal or make things better, it's to reaffirm the tribe.
